摘要
This study included a comparison of the baseline Sn-3.5Ag eutectic to one near-eutectic ternary alloy, Sn-3.6Ag-1.0Cu and two quaternary alloys, Sn-16Ag-1.0Cu-0.15Co and Sn-3.6Ag-1.0Cu-0.45Co, to increase understanding of the effects of Co on Sn-Ag-Cu solder joints cooled at 1-3degreesC/s., typical of reflow assembly practice. The results revealed joint microstructure refinement due to Co-enhanced nucleation of the Cu6Sn5 phase in the solder matrix, as suggested by Auger elemental mapping and calorimetric measurements. The Co also reduced inter-metallic interface faceting and improved the ability of the solder joint samples to maintain their shear strength after aging for 72 h at 150degreesC. Some recent additional results with Co and Fe additions are consistent with this catalysis effect, where a reduced total solute level was tested. The baseline Sn-3.5Ag joints exhibited significantly reduced strength retention and coarser microstructures.
